[Comprehensive Martial Arts] The Road to Powerful Ministers

Yun Wei went to the palace and the emperor to popularize Yu Luocha's past and present life, and then focused on the relationship between Ximen Chuuxue and Yu Luocha, as well as their not-so-harmonious relationship, trying to separate Ximen Chuuxue from Yu Luocha Come.

"According to what you said, Ximen Chuuxue's martial arts will reach its peak one day. At that time, if he wants to use martial arts to violate the ban, no one will be able to stop him." The emperor frowned and said, as an emperor, he never thought of victory, but of defeat.

"No, Ximen Chuuxue is only one person, he will be old and weak, but his elder brother is rich and has countless subjects in the world. With reasonable training, even a martial arts master can't match the army. The most important thing is that Ximen Chuuxue is not like that He has no ambition to seize secular power. Even if we destroy the foundation of the Western Demon Cult, as long as Yu Luocha is not killed, Ximen Chuuxue will not make a move. As his friend, I am still very confident in this Yes." Yun Weijue affirmed.

"So sure?" As an emperor, he has been fighting for power all his life, so he can't believe that someone is indifferent to power.

"Of course." After countless blood lessons, Yun Weizhen's vision of seeing people has also improved, "What a person pursues depends on what he lacks and what he wants. Ximen Chuuxue's generation of swordsmen pursues the pinnacle of martial arts He already has a rich life and a firm will, now it is enough to give him another good opponent, what to do with secular rights. He is not a butcher for an official, won't others respect him? "

"It was really a mistake for Yu Luocha to send Ximen Chuuxue out of the Western Demon Cult to be raised. Such a strong-minded person can only leave traces on his heart when he was young. Now, no family relationship, father-son blood, I'm afraid it can't be restrained." He's gone. He already has a way to pursue!" Yun Weixuan commented.

The emperor didn't know what he was thinking, and said, "Sometimes, seeing people like you or Ximen Chuuxue always makes me feel ashamed."

Yun Weizhen smiled slightly and said: "Brother, your way is different from ours. It is the greatest way for you to be a wise king, so that the mountains and rivers will last forever, the people will be safe and healthy, and all nations will come to court. Compared with our pursuit of personal progress, your way That's the way."

Yun Weijue comforted his elder brother as if he didn't understand the meaning.

"Since you have said so, I will naturally not embarrass Ximen Chuuxue, they are all my subjects." The emperor said to himself.

"Brother, it's good that you know what's in your mind. I still have to go back to the cabinet. Recently, Yu Luocha has been watching outside, and I have delayed a lot of official business." Yun Weizhen explained the matter clearly, and then withdrew.

The emperor looked at his back and said to Tieshan: "Tieshan, what a person wants depends on his identity, right?"

"What the master said is true." Tieshan simply echoed, and seeing the emperor still staring at him, he added: "Like a slave, the greatest wish in this life is to serve you. If I am lucky enough to accompany you into the imperial mausoleum It is a great blessing. If unfortunately you are old before you, you only hope to have something to eat in your old age, and you will not be driven to the street to beg."

Tieshan's words are half true and half false, and the emperor will not believe them all, but at least he thinks that Tieshan will not have his own ambition to be emperor, and he can't even think of going there, okay?Neither did Yun Weijue. His childhood ambition was the well-being of the people, and he was very satisfied with being the chief assistant. This height was enough for him to use his strengths.Therefore, the emperor believed in Yun Weijuan.

"Is a person in his teens considered young?" the emperor asked Tieshan again, is it only when a child can leave deep emotional traces?

Tieshan faltered for a moment, then hesitated and said: "This is also worthwhile. Ordinary people naturally do nothing, but Your Majesty, you are an outstanding emperor, wise and powerful, and you are a young man enthroned. Such an image of a wise monarch cannot be regarded by ordinary people!"

The emperor knew that Tieshan had misunderstood the direction, but he was not angry. He just kept thinking about the words "ordinary man" and Yun Weijue's sentence "Don't tell Your Highness" in the hall. He took a deep breath and decided to trust Yun Weijuan.

After returning home, Yun Weijue appraised the broken porcelain from Yu Luocha and the two precious camellias, listed a relatively expensive price, and then sent the bill to Hefangzhai.

Half a month later, Yun Weixuan received compensation, exactly the amount of compensation.Of course, it's not because Yu Luocha has character and patience that she accepts Yun Weizhen's blackmail, but because Yun Weizhen wrote a letter to Ximen Chuuxue.

Yun Weixuan and Ximen Chuuxue have been communicating all the time. Last time he wrote to say that he checked the person who fits his biological father status and delineated the scope, but he has not yet determined which one it is, but he often feels that there is no malice but it is very urgent. Yun Weijue kindly pierced the window paper.

Yun Weijue first explained Yu Luocha's identity and background to him, and also told him about the trouble he had come to the capital to trouble him.

"Master Jade's martial arts are strong and weird, and he always uses mist to cover his face. But he is actually very handsome. I don't understand why he does that. Isn't he afraid that one day he will dispel the mist, and there will be no one in the Western Demon Cult?" Know him? Then his subordinates and congregation respect him himself, or the mysterious mist that represents authority."

"I don't have a very bad impression of him. Although he broke into my mansion rudely, I was shocked. During the days when he was in the capital, I was always worried about hearing that there was a murder case, where Fortunately, there was no news of the fire, and it seems that Master Yu is not a person who is completely irrational and conscientious, and he will not harm ordinary people for no reason."

"But my family and guards are very angry. Guo Ping has practiced more times recently, and the eighteen guards are also practicing sword arrays non-stop. They seem to be waiting for the day when Master Yu will come uninvited again, and then they will be ashamed." , although I think they have nothing to be ashamed of this time."

"I'm sending you some narcissus roots and maintenance recipes with this letter. It's cold in the northwest. Except for plum blossoms, maybe you will like the elegant fragrance of narcissus."

Yun Weijue used such plain and gentle words to hurt Yu Luocha, and then Yu Luocha couldn't jump out to complain, because Yun Weijue didn't say a single bad word about him, but showed generosity and kindness.The relationship between Yun Weijue and Ximen Chuuxue also reveals the attitude of a gentleman’s friendship as light as water. Yun Weijue will give him cheap daffodils, and also give him early spring tea that is hard to find. Yu Luocha can’t even find it when he gets angry. to the grounds.

Yun Weijue also wrote in the letter: "I appraised the value of the items broken by Master Yu and made an account. I don't know if he will compensate me for the loss? I know that this will definitely make him angry, but I want to teach him a lesson. Otherwise, what if he casually breaks in and breaks my furniture next time?" Yun Weijue made no secret of his quarrel with Yu Luocha, but who made Yu Luocha right?

On the day the letter was delivered, Ximen Chuuxue gave an order to the housekeeper, Cheng Yi: "Let him pay back the debt for Yuan Yan's things!"

With such a bald-headed sentence from Ximen Chuuxue, only Cheng Yi, who watched the process, knew what was going on.With a pale face, Cheng Yi ran to send a letter to Yu Luocha, saying that the Western Demon Cult used falcons to transmit information.As an aside, the Falcon intelligence system used by Yunwei is improved on this basis.

Yu Luocha was very angry when he received Chengyi's letter, he resented Yun Weijue for daring to expose the matter to Ximen Chuuxue and used Ximen Chuuxue to deal with him, but also sad that Ximen Chuuxue actually helped outsiders.

Yu Luocha had to pay.

In the second round of Yunweixuan vs. Yu Luocha, because of player Ximen Fuixue's perfect assist, Yunweidi won!

Yu Luocha was in the Western Devil's Cult, rubbing the letter sent by Cheng Yi, and said, "Why do I feel that Yun Weizhen seems to have known each other?"

Yu Luocha was just talking to himself, but Ziyi thought he was asking him, and said solemnly: "Please ask the master to hand over Yun Weiju's bill... the letter to your subordinates, and your subordinates will have them check it."

"No need." Yu Luocha waved his hand, what he was talking about was not the handwriting at all, but the feeling.Just the feeling that Yun Weijue put the winter jasmine in the vase, I always feel that I have seen it somewhere, could it be some kind of flower arrangement?Yu Luocha was not sure.

Looking at Cheng Yi's letter, since Ximen Chuuxue knew of his existence, he should go to meet him formally.

Yu Luocha did whatever she wanted, and was going to Wanmei Villa all by herself.

Lan Yi stopped him for a while, and said: "Master, you have to leave just after you came back. There are so many educational affairs piled up, and you are gone, what should you do in the teaching?"

When Yu Luocha heard Lan Yi's words, she turned around abruptly, and her robe fluttered. The spring sun cast a light golden halo on Yu Luocha's robe. Yu Luocha said proudly: "This seat is the Western Demon Cult .”

Yu Luocha's words have three meanings. First, he owns the Western Demon Cult, and all the rights and property in the Cult belong to him, so he doesn't have to worry about any logistical difficulties when he goes on the road alone. He has it as a matter of course. , Enjoy everything about Western Demon Cult.Second, he represents the Western Demonic Cult. The Western Demonic Cult is there wherever he is. It is because the Western Demonic Cult is not functioning properly due to the accumulation of affairs, or it has simply collapsed. As long as he is there, an identical Western Demonic Cult can be rebuilt.Third, he is the spiritual symbol of the Western Demonic Cult, and there is no need to be loyal to the Western Demonic Cult, as long as they are loyal to him alone.

The third is just to try out Lan Yi's current state. Lan Yi doesn't need to think about anything for the Western Demon Cult. What he thinks is just Yu Luocha's dissatisfaction, high dissatisfaction, and willingness to do so!

If Yun Weizhen had heard the declaration that "this seat is the Western Devil's Cult" here, he would have understood why Yu Luocha had taken the risk of cheating to death, not because he didn't care, but because he could rebuild a Western Demon Cult at any time. Demon Cult, as long as he is here.

A generation of Jieyu Luocha went to Wanmei Villa in such a chic way, and then lived in the guest courtyard in disgrace.

Thanks to Yun Weizhen for the friendship analysis provided by Ximen Chuuxue: Why don't you keep your son by your side.Maybe it's because I don't have self-confidence, I don't have confidence in my mastery of the Demon Cult's power and education level; maybe it's because I don't care, what I want is a perfect heir, not a son; For example, Ximen Chuuxue used to covet Wanmei Villa's thieves when he was a child...

Those thieves want to complain, they just want to rob money!

Lack of self-confidence, dishonesty, bad intentions, good guy, each of them is on the Achilles heel of Ximen Chuuxue. If Yu Luocha can pass the test easily, Yun Weizhen will be really convinced.

Seeing Ximen Chuuxue's reply, Yun Weijue consciously grasped the best way to deal with Yu Luocha——Ximen Chuuxue.

Soon, Yun Weijue didn't have the heart to use these small fights to adjust his mood, and the test in the court came again.

Since Yun Weijue became the prince, he often went to the palace to see him. With his rank, he didn't have to report in advance every time.That day when Yun Weijue went to see the emperor, the little servant carrying the memorial came out holding a large stack of papers, but for some reason he lost his grip, the two little servants bumped into each other, and the memorial scattered all over the floor.At this time, Yun Weijue came over, and the servant Zhengzi hurriedly cleaned up.Yun Weijue's rank was too high, and the little servant had to kneel on the left side of the road to greet him. Yun Weijue glanced at the memorials scattered on the ground. The top one was on the black cover, on which was written his position and status. Name: Zhang Qian, the general of Yanmen County.

Yun Weijue's footsteps paused, and he said kindly: "Get up, it's still cold, don't kneel down." The four or five servants holding the memorial thanked him, and Yun Weijue stepped forward quickly.His heart was only churning, Yanmen County?black?

Memorials have a fixed format and grade, black is basically a close memorial, and Yanmen County is the frontier fortress guarded by Guo Anzhi.

Yun Weizhen calmly told the emperor what he planned to say, and then went to the Ministry of Officials to check the personnel and appointment files.He had reported to the emperor that he wanted to find out who the censor who jumped out suddenly was, and it was not unexpected to come to the official department now.

In order to keep it secret, Yun Weijue didn't even ask for the handyman to serve him, so he rummaged through it by himself, and finally found out Zhang Qian's resume and appointment.Zhang Qianqi is the concubine of the Xungui family. He started to serve in the imperial guards, and his performance was mediocre. However, from the imperial guards to the guards of the imperial city, and then to the small commander of one of the nine gates of the capital, he has always been a guard directly under the royal guard.And Zhang Qian's appointment was not the result of joint discussions between the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of War. On Zhang Qian's appointment letter, there was a bright red word "Approval" written by Zhu Zhu, and the time was when Yun Wei was crowned.At that time, Yun Weijue was asked to stay safely in the mansion and spend the important moments of his life with peace of mind.

Yun Weizhen closed the file and restored the file to its original state. It seems that when he was out of energy, more than one person had tampered with it.Yun Wei's already cold heart was soaked in icy water, it really is the same line from father to son...

When Yun Weijue was thinking about how to remind Guo Anzhi, another incident happened at the border.Wei Shang, the guard of Yunzhong County, was imprisoned because he overreported the number of beheadings by four heads when reporting his military exploits.Military generals and civil servants got into trouble again because of this incident.Wei Shang is a well-known general in the court. He often goes out to command the army. He takes the lead and is honest.With general talent and the ability to govern the people, the Yunzhong County under his governance is also a frontier that everyone envies, and the prosperity does not let the Central Plains.

And the four extra heads were not the number reported by Wei Shang first, but reported by the officials of the Ministry of War after counting them.Now that the matter came, whether Wei Shang was the first to report this number, the evidence has been drowned out, and both sides insist on their own opinions; it is not clear whether the crime of falsely reporting military exploits should be held on the head of the Ministry of War, or Wei Shang should be blamed.The important thing is that Wei Shang is a military general, and the officials of the Ministry of War who counted military exploits are civil servants. Another civil and military war kicked off.

The military general attacked the civil servant and stabbed him in the back, causing the general to bleed and cry.The originally peaceful morning court made the ministers quarrel into the vegetable market, and the hot-tempered ones fought directly. At this time, the military strength of the civil servants also increased by leaps and bounds, and they were not at a disadvantage at all.

The emperor sat high on the dragon chair, watching the farce, Yun Weijue just stood quietly beside him, not expressing his opinion.

The emperor gave Yun Weijue a wink, and Yun Weijue walked up from the side, narrow-mindedly said: "Your Majesty, please retreat, quietly."

The emperor blinked knowingly, and quietly slipped away with Yun Weizhen and Tieshan. Those courtiers who huddled together didn't care about His Majesty's whereabouts at all. A hot-blooded person.

When the two of them were alone, the emperor couldn't help asking: "Yuan Yan, how do you think this matter should be resolved? If you are not careful, it will trigger a civil and military dispute."

"Brother, what I think of is not the civil and military disputes, but the strict military law. Wei Shang's biggest crime was negligence. With Wei Shang's ability, he would not care about these four heads. He was wrong. The punishment is, but the strict military law caused by this matter is a big problem. Brother, you know that fighting is a desperate struggle. If you continue to use four heads like this, you will be convicted of beheading four thousand generals. Sooner or later, the morale of the army will be lost. We can’t take this risk now, and we should give more autonomy to the border guards.” Yun Weixuan persuasively persuaded, and finally sighed: “The military law should be changed!”

"Hmm..." Military power has been a big taboo since ancient times. The aristocratic family that has been passed down for thousands of years died because of the "military disaster", and the high-ranking royal family died without a place to be buried because of the "military disaster". The emperor couldn't make up his mind for a while.

"If you want to change the military law and give the generals more autonomy, then you must find another way to ensure the loyalty of the generals." Yun Weijue did not simply let the emperor suffer, said: "Your Majesty, Guo Anzhi can set an example. "

"Guo Anzhi?" the emperor questioned.

"Anzhi was brought up by me alone. If he can not be confused by my influence and be loyal to His Majesty wholeheartedly, and follow his example, many generals can also be set as a benchmark." Yun Weixuan smiled.

"Then what are you going to do?"

"Crown him in advance." Yun Weizhen said with a smile on his face.

On Guo Anzhi's 17th birthday, he was ordered to return to the capital, and the crowning ceremony was held in advance.

The crowning ceremony was held in Yunfu, from the emperor to the soldiers, and there were many people attending the ceremony.After Guo Ping bestowed letters on Guo Anzhi, Yun Weijuan let Guo Anzhi go out of the house and become independent on the spot.

"Master!" Guo Anzhi roared in disbelief.

"Shut up! Your Majesty just gave you the title of General. You are an officer of the imperial court, not my Yun Weijue's servant. Don't call me young master. Are you worthy of the armor you wear?" Yun Weijue Suddenly said angrily.

"Yuan Yan, you have the grace of saving General Guo's life, so it's okay to be close, am I such a stingy person?" The emperor smiled and made a relief.

Yun Weijue didn't appreciate it, and bowed to the emperor and said: "Your Majesty, I saved General Guo back then, but I set up separate households for their brothers, and I was not my servant. They were young and unable to support themselves, so they took care of me. , now that he has grown up, it is time to spread his wings and fly high. To be honest, if General Guo is not an officer, but a civil servant or a wealthy businessman, how can I insist on being so persistent. Since he is a soldier, his loyalty It can only be dedicated to His Majesty. I can’t mislead General Guo with the grace of saving my life and the intention of my master and servant for my own selfishness. Your Majesty and all my colleagues missed the moment, but I have to point it out.”

"Yuan Yan, I believe in you, and I also believe in General Guo." The emperor said helplessly.

"Your Majesty, I am grateful for His Majesty's trust, but there are no rules, and soldiers should not live in other houses, let alone have a second master besides Your Majesty." Yun Weizhen said firmly: "Everyone says to protect the family and the country , Protecting the family and defending the country, if you want a minister to say that the country comes before the family, if the country is subjugated, how can we come to the homeland? There is a country first and then a family. Didn’t the Wang Xie family back then just couldn’t see this clearly and always poached the country’s corners? Filling up the family led to the frequent change of dynasty, which eventually harmed others, and now that family has not disappeared. Therefore, I ask Your Majesty to reform the military law and implement a professional military system!"

Only then did the courtiers understand that Yun Weizhen and the emperor were making a show, and the focus was on reforming the military system!If you look at Guo Anzhi with a dazed face, you think he is just a raft being used by innocent people.And this raft still couldn't see the situation clearly, so he said reluctantly: "Master, do you want me?"

"I've made it very clear, if you want to continue to be a general, don't call me Young Master, call me Master Yun." Yun Weixuan said coldly.

"Why can't I be a soldier? I just like to go into battle and kill the enemy. Young master, I can do whatever I want?" Guo Anzhi still had a simple and honest appearance, and he couldn't turn his head around. He didn't know the difference between being a soldier and being called a young master. What kind of connection, it was obviously fine before.

Yun Weijue ignored this, and the emperor directly called several important ministers into the palace to discuss reforming the military system.

The reform of the military system is a big project, and no results can be discussed in three to five days.

It’s just that Guo Anzhi fell ill in bed in the mansion newly granted by the emperor. These days, Guo Anzhi started stalking in the Yunfu, and later Yun Weizhen hid in the palace. Can't get in.Guo Anzhi used his pitifully few connections to ask people to help intercede with Yun Weixuan everywhere, but to no avail.In the end, Guo Anzhi knelt down in front of the Yunfu gate all night, but he couldn't make Yun Weijue change his mind.It rained heavily that night, and Guo Anzhi was extremely discouraged. Later, he developed a fever and drank a large jar of wine, and fell ill directly on the bed.An iron-framed soldier, he was so ill that he couldn't get out of bed.

Everyone didn't understand Yun Weijue's approach. You said that you and the emperor acted in a play that everyone understood. In order to lead to the reform of the military system, now that the play is over, why are you forcing Guo Anzhi to sever ties with you?It's just inexplicable!Everyone began to speculate whether Yun Weijue pushed Guo Anzhi away to show his loyalty to the emperor, or whether he had a conflict with Guo Anzhi and took this opportunity to tear it apart... It is not really for the sake of the country before the family and keeping the generals Pure theory, right?

The emperor also had such doubts, he persuaded: "Yuan Yan, go and appease Guo Anzhi."
